www.quicken.com is laying out poorly, though it's hard to tell how poorly since I can't scroll down :-) All platforms, using 4/7 builds. The quicken page changes all the time, so I posted the html to http://slip/projects/dogbert/test/install/www_quicken_com.html If you want me to narrow this down, please speak up.
Just noting that this is a definite problem and it is NOT the case for quicken noted in bug #1793. Quicken is now serving the same content to 4.5 and 5.0 (from a HTML 'structure' point of view).
The _entire_ page breaks on one tiny stray fragment of HTML (literally "<a></a>") that is in the left-hand column at about character 4200 in the source HTML of today. If that fragment is removed from the HTML, then the page lays out fine. paulmac -- can you try removing this '<a></a>' from the file you have at 'slip' and see what you think? Here is a test case that shows how it breaks the table. ---------------------------------------- <table width=100% border=1> <tr> <td>inside table</td> </tr> <A></A> <!-- oops --> <tr> <td>outside table (5.0)</td> </tr> </table> ----------------------------------------

You are a genius :-) Removing the <A></A> allows the page to layout correctly in apprunner.
Corrected by changes to parsing engine.
